The Wellness Difference

There’s a lot of talk about Wellness Care these days. But what is it? It’s easier to see the appeal of this growing cultural trend when you compare it with other types of care:

Relief Care

Many people begin here. Their ache, pain or other symptom is often what prompts them to begin chiropractic care. Careful! If you stop care as soon as you feel better, you’ll invite a relapse. Muscles and soft tissues heal after symptoms disappear.

Corrective Care

With the most obvious symptoms reduced, many of our patients opt to continue their care. This helps stabilize and strengthen their spine. Rehabilitative care builds on the investment used to get relief and helps make changes longer lasting. Some insurance companies recognize the value of corrective care, but many do not.

Maintenance Care

Regular chiropractic care can help maintain your progress and avoid a relapse. The intention is to help you preserve your progress so far. Your visit schedule varies based on your age, condition and the stresses in your life. Preserving your progress is valuable, but there are still more possibilities.

Preventive Care

Beyond preservation, is the realm of prevention. Periodic chiropractic checkups can help catch new problems early. This can minimize the severity of flare-ups. Those who value their health often take this proactive approach. Early detection, while worthwhile, is a defensive approach to one’s health.

Wellness Care

Simply put, we experience life through our nervous system. That’s why optimizing our spine and nervous system is the key to becoming all that we can be. Your nervous system learns. Chiropractic care and other healthy habits, create new possibilities to grow, develop and take our lives to ever-higher levels.

Dr. Durham Asks some important questions of interest to Abbeville residents - Chiropractor Abbeville Dr. Durham Asks...

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Abbeville chiropractic practice.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Abbeville office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
